someone% in some cases. [closing bell ringing] liz: overall, these cheers are for the broader market, david. what a big day. a record for the s&p. a record for the dow jones industrials. as walls of worry continue be toed climbed. david: looks like resolution part time for next four months what is happening in greece. the port situation is clearing up the we'll give you more information on that. interesting inn is day oil came down a little bit. >> nasdaq, russell, all green on the screen. let's get to the breaking news of greece. "after the bell" gets it to you right now. liz: it is only a four-month extension for the greece bailout plan but stock markets loved here in the united states. all-time highs as we mentioned

on news that the greece and eurozone finance ministers meeting in brussels did reach a deal. david: peter barnes is following latest developments on this from washington. peter? >> eurozone officials granting greece extension to buy time to hammer out a longer term deal to possibly the restructure the bailout. we'll see. the new liberal greek government renounced fiscal and economic reforms required in the 2010, $270 billion bailout, threatening default. with bills coming due and cash running out they backed away from their rhetoric and had a six month extension but only got four. in the compromise, eurozone ministers gave greece till monday a list of reform measures the company plans to stick with, in terms of short-term bailout

funding. and that list, once that list gets preliminary approval, presumably next week. then they set a deadline of the end of april for creditors to agree on a final list. officials said greece today reiterated unequivocal commitment to fully and timely honor its financial obligations to its creditors but officials agreed to the four-month bailout extension to avoid greece's economic recovery, fiscal stability and europe's financial system in danger as talks proceed. >> there is flexibility in the program. the greek government will propose to do different measures to deal with social issues which are high priority to them. and there is open flexibility within the program but it has to be paid for. it has to be part of approach, keeping the agreement on track. economic recovery can not be put in danger. fiscal sustainability can not be put in danger.

and financial sector stability can not be put in danger. >> now the greek finance minister just finished up comments to the media. he said today's agreement gives his country time to negotiate a way out of its financial problems. david and liz. >> unbelievable. only four months. keep that in mind, david. david: four months. we might be right back here in four months. peter, break down today's record breaking action on dow and s&p. john maxim from beacon capital management. there are reasons to be cautious despite the greek deal. he has several headwinds you should watch out for. alan knuckman in the pits of cme. alan, stocks are way up. record territory for the dow and s&p. gold is way down. the vix is at 2015 low. have the markets finally calmed down this year? >> well i think so. the markets moved past the greece situation we see many times. every few years this flares up. but every market selloff has

been lesser each and every time. so, it may be cold outside. it is really hot in these markets. we're at the highs. you have to be more selective after the move. 6% straight up in the s&p without much break since we've seen reversal february 2nd. liz: february 2nd, okay. let me get to john. you've been warning that the bull market is getting gray at the temples. i have heard warning for five years. it keeps going higher and higher. what would make this different? >> first of all, great to be with you, liz and david. you're right, people have been calling it since the european crisis reared its ugly head in 2011. difference what a day would make. when we started today, we didn't know whether greece would work something out. in fact they have punted the ball down the field four months. we'll see what four months from now has in store for the markets. if you look at markets first couple months they're up slightly. they have been sort of going

sideways back and forth. january was a negative month. february has been good. there are a lot of economic indicators that are soft on data. don't forget historical bull market run is 66 months on average. we're in the 72nd month of this bull market run. i'm not saying the market will fall apart but there is certainly economic data we need to watch. david: john, if you're cautious as you certainly are, considering the longevity of this bull marketing look at company like at&t. which has given you 5.4% on its dividend. that is a huge dividend. it is a pretty solid company. give us other reasons to love that stock. >> well, so at our firm we deal with a lot of people in retirement or close to retirement and income has become the new buzzword for the boomer generation. we look at large cap stocks that pay high dividends, at&t being one of them for a couple reasons. number one, it meets income, 5.4

to your point is very good. historically, almost 50% of the total return of the market has come from dividends. in fact i give you more recent data point, from early 2,000s to september of 2012, 100% of return of s&p came from dividends. so any type of stock that we can get a consistent dividend like at&t, at 5.4, that has consistently gone up year-over-year we'll take a strong look for our clients. liz: that is a great idea. if you look at company not going away. find how many times they continue to raised dividend, why not? alan, that leads us to what you and i were talking about on the set a few days ago. that is people, who counted out this market have actually been wrong. i don't care, as long as you're in stocks at the moment, because there is the fed trade. but you bring in oil. david made the point. interesting to see the market absolutely loved what was going on even as oil started to fall once again. oil yesterday, and inventories

seeing a massive build. in fact the build yesterday, 14.3 million barrels over last week? blew away the expectations of 3.1 million barrels. so where does oil go from here, where dot markets go from here? >> i think oil is its own animal. $50 is important level to watch on weekly basis. we went below when we saw selling with people rolling out of front month contract. catching short-term profits as they bought at lower elves moving into the next month. we'll watch oil on its own basis. market is very strong. you have got to believe. there have been a lot of non-believers in this market last five years. it costs you nothing to believe and everything not to. remember that. it is about risk control. we're not in the opinion business of where, why we think the market will do what it is going to do. that is not how we make money. we make money identifying how the market's going to move. i still see a lot more upside as we break out about the channel

your last guest has been talking about. we've been trading sideways three months. broken to the upside. let's see how it follows through. it is all about risk control and asset allocation so you're not overloaded any one sector where you get hurt by individual stock and play. david: heck with the weather, by the way. we're here in new york. i woke up it was two degrees. alan, i don't know how cold it is in chicago. but i bet our next guest has us all beat. he is from minneapolis. craig johnson. finally got the feed from minute nap press. i think the -- minneapolis. we think the wires froze up on. piper jaffray is the company you're from. eve the, even before the greek arrangement was made you saw another sign of another leg for market that average stocks are joining the rally. explain. >> when you go back to look at the russell 2000 it has been in a sideways correction for better part of a year at this point. over the last couple days we started to serious sell 2000 is

breaking out to all-time new highs. the average stock once again started to participate. to us as technicians that is very bullish sign that the average stock is coming back to participate. we think this is a sign the timed correction this market has been in the over past year is starting to fade and we're starting next leg higher. we're bullish. we are looking for 2350 on s&p 500 this year. david: wow. >> that is about another 11% from where we are now. we think it might be conservative. liz: okay. that conservative. john you were already talking about how you feel when it comes to solid stocks with good dividends. what would you completely avoid right now? >> well, again our clients, the people we work with are not looking for the next momentum stock that will give them 20% return. could s&p go to 2350? i guess anything could happen, but in my opinion a lot more economic indicators if the market goes up, it will go up much less than that. i think the market will continue

to go forward over the first couple of quarters, through fed monetary policy and momentum. but when you look at some data, we're 70% consumer spending economy. u.s. is best market out there. unemployment looks great at 5.7. when you factor in retail sales are down in an environment that crude oil prices have also dropped. so families are paying less at pump. 18% of the workforce is part-time employees and incomes of middle-class americans, is just really not keeping up with the demands of supporting a family and spending money, that is probably one of the reasons why the michigan consumer sentiment report fell 4 1/2 points last month. poll average consumer if they're confident about the market going up to 2350. i would venture to say that is not going to happen. david: let me just, bring craig back because he didn't have a chance to get into the first round. craig, if you, i know you're really bullish. that is a very optimistic

projection for what the s&p might perform this year. what is your most conservative bet? from somebody as bullish as you, give us your most conservative bet, something perhaps even bears could appreciate? >> sure. let me do that, say one thing. this environment we're in right now with interest rates as low as they are, oil prices are down and economy is starting to move in the right direction, i don't know why people don't like this market. now from an individual stock perspective, let's look at some of the names and areas that we like. we still like health care. we still see very good relative strength problem. our perspective we see number of charts that look very good. we continue to think we'll see stocks like fluid break out to all-time new highs. we continue to look in the technology sector, semiconductor stocks with cr u.s. looking very positive. these are names we want to focus on. on consumer side costco. even conservative investors

understand the power what cost go is doing and that chart looks fabulous and for next leg up. david: good stuff, guys. john maxim, craig johnson, alan knuckman. good to see you all. have a great weekend. liz: david, the highest number of overweight positions among analysts right now when it comes to sectors is technology. should you follow their love lead? they adore this sector. if so, do you buy older tech names or the new sexier names? david: plus, no deal has been reached at the west coast ports but we have just learned that some of those ports will be up and running this weekend. has the damage to the economy though already been done? we have two businesses who are still waiting on their loads from ships stuck at ports. >> optimism on wall street today has you, i don't know, a little worried, where can you go for safety? is there a new safe haven out there, not bold, that you may be ignoring? stay tuned.

simonetti on floor of nyse. lauren? >> we have to start with winners. they are boeing, nice key and united technologies. for boeing and united technologies they have had five record closes in a row, really just surging today. look at that! boeing up 3% this week. let's show you the losers this week. no surprise here, exxon and chevron. some of the the biggest losers. energy only sector in the red out of 10 we like to look at. walmart also a big loser this week. but of course with the tremendous rally like we had today, you see green on that screen because today, those stocks did well. back to you. david: lauren simonetti, thank you. have a good weekend. >> thank you. >> let's not ignore the nasdaq. tech sector right now is very much loved on wall street. it has largest numbers of bullish positions among top analysts on the street. now if you agree with our optimism or just getting convinced, how do you play it? there are different levels to tech.

bring in our panel. we have gary gary b. smith. "wall street journal's" paul vigna and fox business's tracy byrnes. gary b., do you buy old names, sexy names or something else in tech? >> liz, i would go a different route. i would buy names of companies with actual real profits. haven't we been through this before where everyone was on the tech bandwagon in 1999, 2000? companies that had had no profits whatsoever. company like tesla, i love tesla, but it has no profits. as much i would like to play the stock or invest it, i think you need to stay with ones like googles, apples, netflixs that are making money. liz: interesting that you view tesla as technology stock. it is auto name as well. i hear what you're hearing. you're growing with google, apple. paul, do you agree with that strategy? who else doesn't have profits? we know big names sexy at the

moment, like alibaba definitely do. >> alibaba they do, apple and google too. it is interesting in tech. you kind of look at it whether you were a value investor or growth investor you can find things in there on both sides which makes it a very interesting sector but point is very well-taken. you look at the nasdaq composite. everyone is looking. want to see when it gets back to the record. that is great. but that record was 15 years ago. it has been 15 years since we've been at that point. that is perspective. liz: do you think there is too much froth with the analyst, nine out of eleven cover the tech sector overall say this is overweight? >> yes. but it is hard to pick out exactly where. i mean, what stocks are overvalued? certainly not apple. you know, some of them r i think, ultimately comes down to the fact that, if you're going to be investor you have to stick to your knitting. do your own research. make your own determination. liz: tracy, what is technology stock? >> that is the thing. liz: craig johnson,

cirrus logic, intel, applied materials. >> i think some point everything will be a tech stock. certainly it will have to. i like apple and google. those are old stodgy companies. apple is best-of-breed and google is a verb to own it. stuart varney will fall off his tractor but look at microsoft. you have 3% dividend. this company is loaded with cash. it doesn't know what to do with it. when i tell you something my son buys something for xbox every day. it is complete racket but he can't be only one and has to be worth something at the end. liz: gary, you want to get? >> tracy said, everything is a tech stock. i threw tesla in there. it is technology stock but auto stock kind after technology stock. liz: i see twitter and alibaba more as consumer social media stocks, not technology but they are in a way. tracy, you're on to something. the dow and s&p continue to hit

new all-time highs. if you think there is too much froth, too much optimism in the market overall, what is the next safety play? paul vigna, not gold? >> no. personally i never thought gold is a very safe sector. it is as volatile asking anything. look at past couple years, it has gone up and down wildly. our traditional safe havens will be safe havens. thing to keep in mind with the market right now, every central bank in the world is easing, every central bank in the world throwing money out there. it makes everything look good. when that washes away look for traditional safe havens, high quality bonds, high quality stocks. corporate grade. those are the safe havens. if you're worried what is going on right now and want to put your money somewhere safe and still get a little bit of return that is where you end up. liz: tracy, i assume you're not going to say under the mattress? >> no. i say don't be worried. because central banks are pouring money into the economy all over a the world. this will be a while.

get in this. 401(k) money in this. this is gut check. if you can sleep owning tesla you should own it. liz: that is not gary b. but what are your safety names? >> first rule of safety club there is no safety club. >> right. >> that i say the only way you can, be safe is diversify. pick up little gold, pick up little bonds and pick up some stocks. liz: good quality stocks that pay dividends you know aren't going away. coming up, a guy really good at that, warren buffett making his first outright acquisition in europe. should you follow the "oracle of omaha." and who has a the best week out there? stay tuned, david. david: want to hear that one. also coming up the oscar swag bag, you heard about those? this year each bag is worth $167,000. can you imagine getting that? gifts include a $20,000 car rental, a trip to tuscany italy, all-expenses paid.

we bought a motorcycle company. he is dying to buy million dollar companies. >> this is laughing me to a little. he usually buys companies he uses. is he going biking in germany? i think, investor have be very careful about things they don't understand. i think warren buffett would say that as well. go with the big multinationals. liz: i think so. when you see the lower third, buffett buying into europe, it's a european company, gary b., he would be first to say, i don't buy sectors, i buy individual companies that i love. >> exactly. to tracy's point i don't understand individual companies in europe. i barely understand individual companies here. so, look, if you think that warren buffett knows something, then buy berkshire hathaway. otherwise -- liz: extension in greece. it is unloved sector right now when it comes to europe. why not go into unloved area

instead of richer and richer by the minute u.s. names. gary? >> is that to me? the. liz: yeah. >> look i agree it is probably unloved and undervalued, the whole reason you point out the greek, euro, germany doing what they're doing, russia over there, just too much stuff going on i don't understand. liz: we climb the wall of worry like we did in the u.s.? >> any times, you hear stories, warren buffett bought that, carl icahn bought this. warren buffett and carl icahn's investment goals are very different from most people's investment goals and their resources are different from their resources. i'm hesitant about blindly doing what warren buffett does. he is not trying to fund his 401(k). liz: had you bought railroads when he did in 2005, six, seven, you would have won. get to major indices at all-time highs. there were a lot of stumbles and a lot of triumphs this week for individual stocks, business leaders, politicians and others. who were the biggest winners and

losers? tracy, you get to go first, sinner and loser. >> winner is walmart. raised wages, half a million workers are getting a pay raise because of walmart. investing in retaining for retention. thought that was great for walmart. my loser this week, amex. they tried to go to court, saying no one can use any credit card than other ours. judge said not to so much. costco fiasco where they separated from costco. there is a reason amex is down this week. liz: paul, your winners and losers. >> hackers got into the state department mail servers. these hackers that is gold medal of hacking. got into the state department. they can't get you out. they won, what do you want? my loser, every single person on the eastern seaboard. it was one degree this morning. it is freezing. it is getting more snow. i'm officially done with winter. i am a loser. liz: you're such a baby. you live in new jersey.

i'm a calfornian and i'm dealing with it. gary b., your winner and your loser? >> well, my winner was short volatility, short vxx. you can also be long xiv. liz: that was a good play. we hit a low of 2015 on the vix. >> exactly. so volatility is dropping out as obviously the market goes up. they usually run counter to each other. my loser, actually i think eked out maybe a gain for the week was, disney. my wife and i just went down to disney in, couple weeks ago. it was mobbed in february! i love the company. i think it is going to be a big winner. liz: but you had it as a loser? >> i, well, got ready for the show it was down a little bit. by end of the day it was up. liz: my winners and losers, my winner, had them in the last hour. he is cantor fitzgerald around bcg partners and ceo howard lutnick. not only did he beat out the cme getting a company called gfi under his wing but he called the

dollar strength more than a year ago. it has jumped exponentially. my loser is actress julia louis-dreyfuss. i enjoy here on the show "veep." she turned down doing oscars. shouldn't have turned it down, julia. paul, gary b. david: she would have been good on the oscars, agree. >> i love her. david: getting down to the wire at west coast ports. friday deadline set by labor secretary. it is closing in. even if it is resolved is economic damage still being done? we still will talk to businesses with containers on ships they can't get off. >> the oh. how about a cup of coffee these days, a group of scientist, i'm loving these guys, are considering making coffee a dietary recommendation for americans? why? we'll tell you next. ♪

cost. we have two of those folks. jason carr, brian javelin, pacific play tents executive vice president. gentlemen, good to see you. jason, first to you, how long have your goods been stuck on one of these container ships? >> our goods have been stuck now approximatelily three weeks. david: three weeks? wow! >> how much has that cost you? >> well first of costing us our reputation, costing us we have close to million dollars at port right now. those goods have to be shipped immediately. so it is costing us penalties from retailers and problems. big problems. david: that is very interesting. you bring up reputation point of it. brian, go to you on this, is that a problem with the people you're supplying? you said you deliver at certain time and you have been unable to? >> well it is a significant impact because most retailers today control their inventories with jit inventory, just in time. david: sure. >> they're not stocking back stocks.

they expect us to have inventory and deliver with delivery dates we contracted for. when we're late they don't have goods on their shelf. often times they have to go to somebody else to fill empty space, has that happened, brian? were there occasions people said look, i'm sorry you lost the contract. >> we haven't been able to have that happen yet. we have great relationships. we're an old company. we have long-term relationships. we maintain them. people know what is going on. we done as best to supply as many of our retailers as possible. david: by the way, how long has your stuck been stuck on board? >> average time, 14, to 16 days. we're adding 20 to 25 days from time of vessel in port until we see in our stores in los angeles. david: why so long? the ports have not been closed that long? >> we used what was called night pulse. we pull the containers at night. they would be at our dock at 6:30 in the morning. that is not happening. no more night pulse. congestion and ports.

truckers stand in line eight hours not able to pull a container. we have one cainer been here 15 days off-loaded. trucker gone five different times to pull it. they have been unable to secure the container. david: wow is. >> son what are you hearing about the resolution to the deal? secretary put midnight friday as break down date or time and we're hearing there is some progress towards a settlement? >> mayor garcetti is doing everything possible, speaking with mr. perez. we just hope this reconciles quickly. this could escalate. real problem that we have here, once these containers, first of all, there is close to approximately 33 ships. on these ships there are 15,000 containers. looking half a million containers coming into the port right now. once these, once these dock, you're looking at almost a two-month resolution to this. or could be longer. so not just, we usually get our goods in a week, from when the goods land at port. so now we have notify retailers

and let them know, hey, you know what? this will not be three weeks or four weeks. this could be two to three months delay. david: wow! if there is a deal, have you added up all the costs for yourself? i mean not including costs that are tough to add up that people can't rely on you anymore? >> first of all -- david: hold on. jason, go ahead. >> we have, we have incurred costs. right now, whether or not air in goods from china and india. typically a container from china to los angeles will cost approximately $4100. to air a 40-foot container by 747, looking at tens of thousands of dollars. that is a lot of at risk here. it will cost us a lot of money. we have to service customer. we're doing everything possible. david: jason, has it made you question where you're sourcing this stuff from? perhaps you may find a supplier here in the states so you don't have to deal with this again? >> we, the efficiency in china and costs of doing business

there is, we can't, we do have some confection in the usa but majority of the retailers that we deal with are ordering large quantities. that stuff has to be made in china or india. david: brian, jason brought up kind of a scary thought that this could escalate. certainly if there is no resolution that it could spread to ports outside of the west coast, maybe on the east coast. have you heard anything about that? >> i did today as a matter of fact, because east coast contracts are up in approximately another several months beginning in 2016. so the same scenario that is happening on the west coast could potentially happen on the east coast. david: wow. we're -- final word. go ahead, brian. >> moving goods to the east coast sin sane. cost to do that is almost triple bring it into the los angeles port for our company because we're headquartered in los angeles. david: we're keeping our fingers crossed for you guys. this could be make-or-break for the economy at least in this quarter. jason carr, brian, best of luck.
